Our services include:
Every septic system is designed to properly manage wastewater and sewage while protecting groundwater through safe filtration and drainage systems.
Installing a new septic system requires proper planning, engineering, and approvals. Our process ensures everything is handled professionally from start to finish.
One of the owners will visit your property onsite to evaluate your existing septic system, determine if septic tank repair is possible, and assess whether installing a new system is the best solution.
Some properties may only require pipe replacement or drain field repair, while others require a new bed. We explain all options to ensure you choose the right system for your property.
We coordinate engineers who evaluate the property and design a conventional septic system or alternative wastewater treatment solution. This stage includes septic design plans and can take up to 3 weeks.
Once you approve the work, we submit the design plans for a septic permit with the City of Ottawa or local municipality. Our BCIN license number is included to ensure compliance.
Once approved, we begin digging and drain field setup. In most cases, installing a new bed takes about one week from digging to completion.
Our goal is simple: ensure your septic system works properly for decades.
Our licensed team of septic professionals can be called upon to inspect existing septic systems before you purchase a home. Not knowing the condition of a septic system can be a costly mistake and may lead to unexpected repairs or replacement expenses after you move in.
Instead, call us before you buy a property for a thorough septic inspection. We will evaluate the septic tank, leaching bed, and overall system performance so you can make an informed decision and avoid surprises.
Every property is unique, especially in rural areas across the Ottawa area where space, soil conditions, and future plans must be considered.
We provide septic design options that consider:
Some septic systems require larger drain fields, while others use compact wastewater treatment filtration systems designed for properties with limited space.
We’ll walk you through the options so you can plan confidently.
Usually no. In most cases we crush the old septic tank onsite, remove the connecting pipe, and dispose of materials properly. The brand new system is typically installed near the original location to simplify the drain field.
Yes. We offer different septic systems Ottawa homeowners can choose from, depending on property size and future plans. If you want space for a pool, deck, or home extension, we may recommend a smaller footprint wastewater treatment system.
However, systems designed for limited space are often more expensive due to specialized filtration technology.
A properly installed septic system usually lasts 25–30 years. Installing a new system can significantly increase property value, especially if you plan to sell your home in the future.
Yes. A properly functioning septic system should never freeze because wastewater and sewage generate heat underground. If your system fails during winter, we can install a brand new system, then return in spring for grading and topsoil finishing.
Our licensed team of septic professionals will first inspect every aspect of your existing system, including the septic tank, leaching bed, and wastewater flow. In some cases, repairs may be possible, but if the system has reached the end of its lifespan, it may be necessary to replace the system and septic field installation entirely. Our goal is to help you choose the best and most cost-effective solution for your property.
Yes. We offer real estate inspections for buyers, sellers, and realtors across the Ottawa area, including communities like Carleton Place and surrounding rural properties. Our septic professionals will inspect the septic tank, leaching bed, water usage capacity, and overall system performance to ensure the system is functioning properly. These inspections provide peace of mind and help identify potential issues before closing.
Yes, in some areas the Conservation Authority, including the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, may review projects depending on the property’s proximity to waterways or environmentally sensitive land. Our licensed team is familiar with these requirements and works closely with engineers and municipalities to ensure every installation meets environmental standards. When necessary, we can also recommend modern solutions like Ecoflo and other advanced treatment systems to create the perfect system for properties with environmental restrictions.
